Very realistic acting by Neil Nithin Mukesh. He was amazing in New York, so I had high expectations from this one, which he absolutely lived up to. The young actor has a promising career in front of him. Mugdha Godse, who I had never heard of before, delivered a horrendous performance. Such dry acting that I couldn't feel her character's presence at all. The mother was even worse. Also, wish there were more than 2 good songs (pick the old Lata Mangeshkar and whatever song that is is 100% doomed for failure). Director Madhur Bhandarkar delivered a spectacular representation of a life in jail, presenting everything with realism and detail. However, why couldn't Mukesh just say "get me a lie detector and you'll know i'm innocent?" right from the beginning?

Another great work by Madhur Bhandhar.. showing the life in Jail. Neil Nitin wasnt bad and great supporting by bajpai and arya babbar. Mudgdha was wasted (she was great in fashion). Overall, as expected, a great movie by the directir, as always!

Madhur Bhandarkar has done it again with very controversial topic. After a huge success of Fashion, he is bk with JAIL. Its a great movie but there are some slow points. Madhur was very wise to cast Neil Nitin Mukesh, he did a brilliant job and some of his expressions were convincing. Mugdha Godse is not just a pretty actress but she is going to make her spot in Bollywood. Manoj Bajpai is great and Arya Babbar i think this is his one of the movie that people will recognize him (not in a huge way but more than his debut movie) Overall, its a great movie.

Truthful to a Bandharkar movie, it aims at denouncing about an indian institution, here the jails, the prosecution, the justice machinery. Great movie, even with flows in actong and not original soundtrack.

Slightly disappointing...not as hard-hitting as all the other Bhandarkar films. The trademark of his films is that the hero is the setting while the characters are the backdrop. Jail was still a good film but didn't live up to my expectations set by his previous eye-opening movies.

Madhur Bhandarkar delivers again! I don't think it was better than Fashion but still preety damn good. I think Neil acted very good but Mugdha's acting was weak but she is still hot! Overall it was nicely made and deserves a 3.5/5! :)
